        Yeah it was a long time ago.
        I just get frustrated with all the back passing they do, when they play like that it's as if nobody has any ideas and really nobody wants the ball.

          Nil nil has to the ultimate turn off for supporters
          A draw is fine but it needs goals.

          I'm trying to work out another sport where you can play for 90 minutes and you end up without a score.

          Chess?:biggrin:

          A full length game can last far more than 90 min and still end in a draw, but they get half a point each.

                The England team visited an orphanage in Qatar Today.
                "It breaks my heart to see those poor eyes filled with sadness and hopelessness"

                Said one of the orphans.

                    My other half's claim to fame - he was in the stadium when England won against Germany.

                    ....And my (English) son was in a house full of Americans - in America - during the recent match between the two. Perhaps it's just as well they drew. :)

                        These home country matches are always viewed with suspicion by other nations. We dont enter the Olympics with four different home nation teams. I can't think of any other country allowed to send extra teams to the World Cup. We had better let Wales win tonight to give them a chance of getting into the next round, just let them have two goals and England will go through too.
